While Xchange.com.pk seems to simplify many aspects, there are things users should watch:
Since crypto and e-wallets are involved, there may still be volatility and network fees.
Regulatory risk: how crypto assets are treated under Pakistani law is still evolving; changes in regulation could affect operations.
Transaction speed may still depend on external systems (e.g. foreign payment systems, wallets) which are not fully under their control.
Limits: minimum/maximum transaction amounts, supported currencies/networks may vary.
Trust & reputation: always check reviews, ensure you’re dealing with official channels.
Freelancers using Upwork, Fiverr etc can receive payments and convert them to PKR faster and more transparently vs. using banks or informal exchangers. (xchange.com.pk)
E-commerce sellers needing to pay international suppliers or buy inventory from abroad can do so more easily.
Individuals needing inward remittances (e.g. family abroad sending money home) also benefit from lower fees, quicker processing.
